ROBERT MUELLER/RUDY GIULIANI/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “Members of President Donald Trump’s legal team on Monday [3-25-19] called Robert Mueller an ‘honest’ and ‘professional’ man — but also took shots at the special counsel’s probe — one day after Attorney General William Barr announced in a letter to Congress that the special counsel found no Russia collusion or clear evidence of obstruction…Giuliani criticized Mueller, in particular, for the solitary confinement of Paul Manafort, the former chairman of the Trump campaign convicted of financial fraud and witness tampering. Giuliani’s comments were echoes of those of Trump attorney Jay Sekulow, who earlier Monday said though Mueller’s investigation was honorable, ‘because it was a great conclusion,’ the probe was not without ‘hiccups.’ In an interview on MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe,’ Sekulow said that Barr’s letter to Congress Sunday was a victory for the president and that he expects much of Mueller’s final report to be made public ‘sooner rather than later.’”
